My own take on this issue is as follows.
If a person starts to feel worse upon starting a psychotropic drug, stop it immediately.
If the doctor says keep with it because the drug needs more time, get another doctor.
And get to the emergency room to allow professionals the opportunity to help stabilize in a safe environment before making any further decisions.
To the white coats and doctors and families and millions who have never experienced it, I can say from personal experience that yes a drug can indeed create a much worse depression than the original one, and do so in a very short period of time. If the person is already on the suicidal borderline, there is no elbow room to play with.
